Cnicago, Aug. 22.—Permit me to suggests methol of dixposing of the Sullivan-lanford matter. In tho first place, Wirt Dexter, Ayer,and Boutel! should bao retained to assist the State's Attorney in the proseention, and Leonard Swett and Shincy Bmith for the defense, at liberal fees. Any other’ Jawyers would do, provided that thelr property s heavily mortgaged or their need of inoney I8 yrgent. Sullivan shonld thon “synual ? on his wife and recelve fnnunl ty from punishment in consideration of his tes- timony against her. The counsed for the Gow crnment shoutd then collect tselr fees. Mrs, Sutllvan should then plead gullty, and divide her furtuné with thy wslstant counsel, who, wheu the question of scutetics eame up, should argue that Mrs. Sullivan, helng n femae - couverte and Jegally merged in her busband, the Immunity granted to him necessarlly cex- tended to hor i prechuded o sentence.
